AUSTRALIA'S SECRET SHAME

Warning: This footage may be too graphic for some viewers.


PETA and Pink have teamed up to stop the practice of the bloody sheep mulesing in Australian - together they have released a video on these mutilations of the sheep and are asking for help to spread their message to the Australian government.



Mulesing is a cruel mutilation said PETA. A process in which farmers carve off chunks of skin from lambs' backsides—often without giving the animals any anesthetic—in a misguided attempt to prevent flystrike, a condition in which maggots attack the sheep. Another form of mulesing uses clips to painfully clamp the skin until it dies and sloughs off said PETA.
